mini charms {plus a giveaway}

It's been super hot and humid for the last few days so I decided it was a perfect time to stay indoors, eat tons of ice cream, and play with my screen printed fabric.

What do you think? A pretty happy looking array of fabric, isn't it?

I had a huge pile of screen printed panels sitting on my cutting table for weeks now and I'm really happy I finally found time to cut them into 2.5" squares.

And, of course I had to see what they would look like in a project, so I made this little patchwork drawstring bag.

I can't lie, I really love how it turned out. And even my kids agreed it was cute :).

So, what do you say? Would you like a chance to win this stack of 100 - 2.5" squares of my screen printed fabric?

If so please leave a comment below letting me know what project you're working on at the moment (please make sure your email is attached to your comment). Both domestic and international entries welcome.

Giveaway will close on Thursday, Jun 30th midnight and I will announce who the random winner is on Friday. Good luck everyone, looking forward to hearing from you.

Second, I am working on a project using 2.5" squares! I have lots of colours but I need more low volume squares. That wonderful, delicious pile of goodness you're offering would have a good home at my house.

ohhhhh my! your fabrics are so beautiful! I've been eyeing them all up in your shop. Someone is going to snatch you up as a fabric designer soon, I predict! I am working on My Small World quilt. Still. LOL

I am flitting about a bit at the moment - making some drawstring bags (like yours) for the school fair, house blocks for a charity quilt, some pixelated birds for cushions, animal blocks for a children's quilt, and three quilts are in the 'to be quilted' pile. Oh, also some dressmaking. Unlike you, it's winter here in NZ and sitting by the fire in the evening is sometimes nicer than sewing in my colder office!! Thanks for the chance to win. melanie99@gmail.com

This is a fantastic give away! I'm working on a first birthday quilt for my nephew Josh. It will almost be a single bed size so that he can grow into it. I would LOVE to include your fabric squares in the design.My email is michellejuliarout@gmail.com

I am making a patchwork elephant....pattern by Abby Glassenberg...600 plus squares....Absolutely love your patchwork bag. Love to win the fabric and make one just like it! Thanks for the great giveaway!

I just made two "Ruby" tops and I have a low volume quilt top almost pieced and also a "moda love" quilt ready to assemble. �� Love your draw string bags, I have made quite a few of those. Thanks for the chance to win. :) ldruttle@sympatico.ca

Hello, Svetlana! I saw your Instagram post and went "Wow! I love the array of fabrics you're creating there!" I am currently working on a set of quilted placemats for the Hubs and me, but I can't wait to finish those and jump into making the Megan Foldover Tote you designed. Keep making the world more beautiful with your creations! cristinapyper@gmail.com

my sewing has been on hold, I had shoulder surgery and an not allowed to do much of anything. (and its driving me bonkers!) I have plans to work on a scrappy quilt soon. Also would like to get a jump on the holidays, making some potholders and small gifts. thanks for the chance to win :)

Oh I love that fabric and little charms already cut make it even better! I am working on burp cloths and wash cloths for a friend that just had twin boys :) Thanks so much for the chance to win! heather.nevits@gmail.com

that is the cutest layout of fabric ever! I'm currently sewing.. I mean, unpicking a dress that I made for my 2yo daughter. I was happily sewing then she came in and had a massive 2yo tantrum, I tried to sew thru it but when I came back to the dress later on in the evening, you could see where the 'stress sewing' had started and it looked terrible, so I'm unpicking and then I'll resew it later on when she is in bed!

I am working on our first grandson's nursery. Loving your baby quilt in navy and parchment, I ordered your navy and gray silkscreen of words to use in the quilt. But I couldn't cut it, so I framed it instead. Now, finishing the baby quilt with navy and gray. Your blog and shop are my new obsessions.

Love these screen printed fabrics. I keep looking at them in your Etsy shop, but I have put myself on temporary fabric restriction. I am currently working on a quilt to donate to the Orlando MQG for#quiltsforpulse.

I absolutely love your sense of design! I'm currently working on a yellow and low volume lap size quilt for an October bride. I am also getting ready to quilt a twin size quilt for an August bride. I just found out today that there will be another October bride so I had better get off this computer and start sewing!

I love the clean simplicity of your fabrics. Right now I'm working on a Lucy Boston EPP wall hanging, an Aerial Grove quilt and always knitting socks (this pair is for my 29yr old son). I would love to win this stack of squares! Please please please! Smduval@mac.com

So great! I love your design style. I am just beginning to learn about EPP and could really use some precuts to make a quilt for myself. For once, I am going to put me first Hahaha😜 Rileymurphy27@gmail.com

As with most quilter, I have multiple projects on the go. Today I am quilting a baby quilt for my first grandbaby due in August, and tonight I will either knit my sweater or hand piece another Chuck Nohara block. Tomorrow, who knows! Love these little 2.5" squares! They would also make a great baby quilt! A baby can never have too many quilts, can they?

I have finished a bunch of small projects in the last week and now I'm ready to start something new! I haven't decided exactly what, but I have plenty of ideas. I love your handmade fabric, thanks for the chance to win!

Love your colour choices! Working on 2 pillows as a thank you, with the name of a special lake and an outline of the lake with their spot marked with an "X". Thanks for the chance, Cathy cjcwatkins@gmail.com

I have just ordered. Jelly roll to make a quilt for our baby which is due in December. I plan to use the jelly roll jam2 pattern from fat quarter shop as it appears to be beginner friendly! Iain.ross30 at gmail dot com

Lovin' your screen-printed fabric and would be so excited to win. Right now I'm working on machine quilting a circle of fabric with metallic threads as a modern doily to be placed under a hand blown glass bowl as a gift for my sweet cousin.

you are seriously generous and really talented! I am crossing my fingers and my toes for this giveaway! Right now I am working on a 2 fabric quilt from the book By the Block by Siobhan Rogers called Go Big or Go Home... I am working with a large floral from Anna Maria Horners garden party collection that I bought waaay too much of at the height of my AMH craze and a very lemony citron solid.. I am really excited about it but my hubby fears he may have to wear sunglasses to use the quilt ;) It's the first time in a long time that I have quilted something just for me and so I told him not to worry because I ain't sharin'!

Thank you for such a great prize! I'm currently working on a quilted pillow (gift for a friend), a few quilt as you go placemats, and some maple leaf blocks for quilts to give to people from Fort Mac (people who lost houses in the forest fire).

Your fabric squares (and bag) are so great!!! I am working on a hand quilting project (a quilt too I made last year) and two blue and white quilts (for my grandparents) as well as at least 10 other projects! (I like to keep a variety of projects to choose from at all times!) ;)

I'm making zippy pouches using your QAYG pouch tutorial! These fabrics would be great for those pouches. I love making them in all different sizes and colors. Thanks for the tutorial and the chance to win your beautiful fabric! shopgirl7232 at yahoo dot com

It's been stinkin' hot and humid here too! Unfortunately, my sewing room is on the top floor of our home and it doesn't cool off like the rest of the house, so sewing on hot days isn't very comfortable. I do like your screen-printed fabrics and they made a great little bag! Just yesterday, I started a lap quilt for my elderly aunt who lives in a nursing home. I am making it with 2 layer cakes of a Moda collection that is not made any longer. I am loving it...I hope she does too!

Hi....what a delightful giveaway Svetlana. I read and enjoy your blog regularly. I have my first grandchild coming this summer and I would love make a quilt out of your designs to go along with the various other baby projects I have going (riley.lyn@gmail.com)

I'm making an inprov stripped quilt for our baby coming in November and binding another improv quilt i made him. After these i want to do a quilt with all small squares and one with isosceles triangles, both of which I think I'll English paper piece so I can do them outside this summer and because I love that method. Your work is amazing. I'd love to use those squares for a quilt leahfpires@gmail.com

Having recently finished a single bed quilt for my oldest grandson, I am looking for what to make next. I love your fabrics and know a sampling of them would inspire me in choosing a project using them. Thank you for the opportunity!

Hard to believe, but I think that fabric is even more charming in those little squares! I'm just getting started trying EPP for the first time. I'll either end up with a lap quilt... or a few potholders if I don't like it much!

Finished a tote bag birthday gift, now I need to get sewing on the zipper pouches I cut out for my niece... and anything from the basket ready to sew! Craving some squares for some mug rugs I've been meaning to work on though...

Your fabrics are so beautiful and the little squares look just adorable! I have a project going on with 2,5" squares and these would be so perfect for that. Thank you for the give away! x Tejenerospost(at)gmail(dot)com

Your mini charms are really lovely. I just finished your wall pocket organizer and currently working on a table runner with blue patchwork fishes on it. It's a gift for someone and the quilting is a bit complicated, with all the little bubbles I'm making.Thank you for all the inspiring ideas you showing to us.

I love all your squares together on the pictures. I would make a small tote bag and probably a medium size zipper bag from it.My current sewing project is a quilt for my entrance to cover the blind window of the door. But if I win your beautiful fabric I would start right away with the tote bag.

So nice to see that you're doing a give-away, yay for that! Getting excited already. I really do hope I can use those little squares to join in my fun of making zipper pouches. I like to make small pouches that can be done within a night, which is what I'm doing now.Thanks so much on the chance, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Wonderful fabric, I just love screen printed😂 I'm working on a "chemistry" quilt using black/grey/white periodic table fabric, maths equations, science stuff etc. Your squares would look ace mixed in with those or as a coordinated cushion! 😂

Hello Svetlanna, I'm currently working on a UFO, made using 'hot Australian' fabrics, those cute cool colours woukd be do nice to use after I'm done. Love your fabrics and your blog, keep up the the great work. Lorraine x. mbgoc93@gmail.com

I am working on a pattern for a knitting bag, but Heidi staples of Fabric Mutt posted pictures of her new Summer Tourist Quilt yesterday. Each block is made up of 2 1/2" squares from a single designer. Your fabrics would sit very well in that quilt. pamdungar2010@hotmail.co.uk

I'm working on a disappearing nine patch with Flow fabrics from Zen Chic and today, I'll pick up a quilt I made for my young niece. A friend of me quilted it and I'll sew a lovely dress on a lovely girl and sew the bias. I love your fabrics. If I win, I think I'll make hexis like Nicole from Modern Handcraft! Have a nice day :-)

Your screen printed fabrics are so beautiful! Right now I am making bloomers and peasant dress for my little niece and after that I will start baby quilt for her with Toy Chest fabric collection. My email is peliroja@yandex.ru

1. White work embroidery (A set challenge from a group I go to and totally blowing my mind as to how I make this so not me idea me...)2. An exploding Lone Star quilt in hot pinks, oranges and aquas for my small persons bed.3. Sampler quilt I did with friends last year ... and all it needs is some binding time to stop being LAZY!

I'm working on the second of a pair of socks. And a bag. And two cushions and a table runner for my Mam. Or at least, that's what I should be working on, but I'm busy in the garden so am just doing a bit of knitting in the evenings.

I've got a Christmas quilt planned but have made a promise to myself not to start it until I've basted, quilted and bound a lap quilt that I'm making for my Mum (I have sneaked in a few smaller projects as gifts for other people though ; ) Love your bag and squares, thanks for the chance to win.annamariehlustik@googlemail.com

I have a few wip/ufo's but would like to get my eldest son's quilt finished (preferably before he moves out!!), I've just become an Aunty again so finishing a quilt for my niece is a must, & I always have a crochet project on the go! And I've just finished 12 blocks which will go into a guild quilt to be sent to Orlando MQG. So some low volume squares would be perfect for a quick little project just for me!Thank you, love the inspiration from your work. Taniataniagillan@gmail.com

I'm working on a block for the IA State Fair charity quilt. After this year's judging of the blocks enterd, they will be sewn together in a quilt for next year's charity raffle. Lots of fun! sjvonefumetti at yahoo dot com

HI! Love the fabrics - they look awesome! I am working on a Christmas quilt! Early I know but it has been almost finished for over two years so it is time to get it finally done! Just the finishing touches, it is already bound! mumbird3(at)gmail(dot)com

Oh so pretty, and 100 you are so generous! I'm currently working on a Luminary quilt, binding another quilt, Metro Medallion, and quilting a Dahlia. Too many projects, not to mention the knitting I'm doing 😉

i am loving your printed fabrics! and would love to win some. :) i am in between big projects right now...i am working on a couple of epp projects, hemming curtains for a friend, charity quilt blocks for a group i sew with, and needing to finish a baby quilt for a friend who will be in town next week. i could use some fun new fabric squares to play with! i envision an epp project with your 2.5in squares!

I love your fabric, and welcome the chance to win. I have multiple projects going on (as usual). I recently completed a rainbow stole for my pastor, a rose picture for my granddaughter, and a baby quilt. I'm taking a little break and am embroidering. It's a great carry-along project, good for time spent in waiting rooms as my husband is at doctors' appointments. Email: fiberartbyruthanne at sbcglobal dot com.

Your screen printed fabric is fantastic and thank you that your international followers are included something that is not usual with US bloggers. I would use them for a baby quilt for my first grandchild who is coming in November!Myrto

Aww, thanks for such a generous giveaway, Svetlana! I'm not sure whether I would use them all up in one single project or scatter them throughout a few, but I'd absolutely love that little stack:) We're preparing to go to the cottage for the long weekend (Canada Day), so I'm trying to get some hand-sewing ready -- My Small World blocks and Carolyn Friedlander's Collection quilt blocks. Thanks again!

You are so awesome! I'm working on a "Comfort- Quilt"for a very dear friend and- like always :))- on some bags and purses. You did a very good job with your printings and I would be very happy to hold them in my hands :)Kind regards, Karin
